Inside

The kitchen has a sink with drinking water (hot water available if chosen). You must provide a stove and all utensils (imagine you are camping). The solid fuel stove provides ample heat and acts as a focal point for the evening's reflections on the events of the day. Its warmth enables the barn to be used through out the year. Upstairs there is ample space to sleep 8. Mattresses are provided but don't forget your sleeping bags. There is a shower, toilet and washbasin for your convenience. A camping barn is essentially a stone tent.

Outside

Parking space is available for 4 cars. There is a barbeque and outside seating area with mountain and river views.

Your walks can start form the doorstep, through woodland, or follow the Woodland Trail, or along the river path. You will find a profusion of birds, including dippers, kingfishers, buzzards and herons. Red squirrels, badgers, hares, deer and otters may be seen in their natural habitats. Bats and owls will join you at dusk when the salmon and trout are rising.
